Platinum certified Version 2.0 contains favorites such as “Push It”, “I Think I’m Paranoid” and “Special”. Four Grammy Award nominations followed, including Album of the Year and Best Rock Album, plus Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group for the album’s third single “Special”. Eight MTV Video Music Award nominations were submitted for the video for “Push It”.
Speaking about the enduring legacy of the record, the band’s drummer and co-producer Butch Vig explains: “Version 2.0 is the sound of a band growing up, evolving, and more than anything, gaining confidence. When we started recording, we made a conscious decision to not re-invent ourselves, but rather take everything we learned from our debut album and filter it through the new digital technology we were grappling with. Sonically, the album has moments of razor-sharp clarity and soft beauty. Indeed, it’s possibly our best album
